Nouveau Event Planning Coordinated the inaugural Run for Rocky on April 14th 2013 in Windsor Ontario and was the first model of its kind in Canada to help fund Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs in high schools. The Run for Rocky is now being looked at as a national fundraiser to help support GSA’s throughout our country. Without funding Gay-Straight Alliances are insignificant.
The first Run for Rocky raised over $67,000.00 in Windsor and these funds will go directly back into the Windsor/Essex County high school system to help initiate education programs for parents, students and educators alike. The Safe School Program, anti-bullying programs, youth mental health issues, LGBT matters, scholarship programs, GSA student leadership development and mentoring programs are vital components within the Run for Rocky funding model.
